2. William Retson or Watt born 10 June 1899 at 82 Alexander Parade, Glasgow

Have you tried looking for this family on the 1911 census on Scotlands People ?

Hello rosie 17

Thank you for your reply, yes this is the correct family.  I should have mentioned that these children were all born illegitimate and on their birth certificates they all have the surname of Retson or Ritson.
I have found Elizabeth and William living with their Aunt and Uncle (William and Elizabeth) on a farm in Dalton, Annan, Dumfriesshire.  Elizabeth is 16 years old and working on the farm as some sort of maid and William is 11 years of age and still at school but unable to find James.  This is all the information that I have
